The Cleveland Browns are looking to close out the regular season strong in Cincinnati. The Brownswill be without or sitting several key players but the focus is to close it out with a win.

Ogbo Okoronkwo and Elijah Moore could be surprise participants in this game. Sadly, veteran linebacker Anthony Walker was placed on injured reserve.

On offense Jeff Driskel gets the start and could be part of a fun day with guys as the Browns can really let it loose as the game means nothing to them.

The Browns can win this game and if they do it will continue to add to the tight bond this team has.

The Cleveland Browns landed five players to the Pro Bowl. Joel Bitonio, Myles Garrett, Amari Cooper, Denzel Ward , and David Njoku all received the nod.

Six players were chosen as alternates, which totally shows the growth of this teams roster.

Jim Schwartz, after the year his defense has had could be in line for a head coach job. It's a situation the Browns would be more than ok with and most knew it could be a possibility.

The latest injury report as we try to determine who is actually playing in this game Sunday.

Locked On Bengals host Jake Liscow joins for Crossover Thursday as the Cleveland Browns travel to Cincinnati to face the Bengals in the regular season finale.

The game has a strange feel for a rivalry game as both teams fates are already decided.

We talk things the Browns can accomplish in this game even with several starters sitting for the Browns.

We talk went wrong with the Bengals this year, and although changes are coming, with Joe Burrow locked up Cincinnati is never not in contention.

The Cleveland Browns returned to business and made a surprise announcement, Jeff Driskell will be their starting quarterback Sunday in Cincinnati against the Bengals, are the Browns saving P.J. Walker's health or is there a chance Driskell is the back-up come playoff time.

Coach Kevin Stefanski made it known the Browns will be sitting some players Sunday but did not elaborate as to who.

Also at practice today was edge rusher Ogbo Okoronkwo, and Elijah Moore. Hopefully clearing a patch for both players to be a full go for the playoffs.

The OBR's Pete Smith joins the show to talk all the veteran free agents available that folks are trying to connect to the Cleveland Browns.

Dalvin Cook, the Stefanski connection makes this believable and if Elijah Moore is out for the playoffs there is a roll Cook could fill if Jerome Ford is used more as a receiver.

Justin Houston would be a perfect fit, you can never have a shortage of pass rushers come playoff time.

Jarvis Landry was great in his time with the Browns, but his talent has diminished in the last few years. However, another former Brown could be a fit.

The Browns have a decision to make this week -- that's not much of a decision -- in deciding who should and shouldn't play on Sunday in Cincinnati. Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start a Hey, Mary Kay! segment of Tuesday's Orange and Brown Talk Podcast by discussing who shouldn't see the field at all.

They also discuss if Joe Flacco could come back to the Browns next season, who they'd rather see in the Browns play in the wild card round and more.

Then Lance Reisland joins the show to break down the Jets film. They talk about the two undrafted safeties, the receivers behind Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore and what to watch for in a meaningless game on Sunday.

The Cleveland Browns will close the regular season Sunday against the Bengals on the road.

Their playoff opponent is still to be determined but they know it will be the winner of the AFC South, either the Jaguars, Texans, or Colts.

Kevin Stefanski said he's still going through the plan as to who will play in the regular season finale.

A lot of unsung heroes have gotten the Browns to where they are this year so we gave out some flowers to those forced into bigger roles and capitalizing on that chance.
